Yes, you read that correctly that Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle believes that Augie Garrido needs to let go by the University of Texas. His reasoning behind this ludicrous statement is the fact that Texas has not won a national championship since 2005. Justice also states that Augie can’t handle a pitching staff if he was given a compass and a map. I guess Justice needs to do his research a little bit before making this statement as Texas finished the season with the second best ERA in the nation. Nice job, Richard in doing your research. By the way, I was in the press box for the first four days of the College World Series and failed to see Justice covering the event. Maybe he showed up later in the tourney but don’t you think you would cover UT baseball if your going to criticize it? You can check out the full article by clicking here.
A little note for you Richard, Texas in 2010 will be coached by Augie Garrido according to a report by Chuck Carlton of The Dallas Morning News says that he will be back next season. You can check out the full article by clicking here.
I highly recommend reading Kirk Bohl’s and Alan Trubow of the Austin-American Statesmen for coverage of the Texas Longhorns by some people that actually cover the team in depth. Check them out by clicking here.
EDIT: I talked with Jason Cole of BurntOrangeBeat.com and he stated that Justice never did show up at the CWS.
